Tomi Juric scored two stunning goals to clinch a hard-fought comeback for the Western Sydney Wanderers against Adelaide United on Friday night but coach Tony Popovic wasn't overly pleased with the young striker's performance.

The 22 year-old was decisive as the Wanderers came from a goal down to win 2-1 at home though despite his clinical finishing in front of goal, Popovic was not prepared to praise his striker's performance.

"I think he's still got a long way to go but you can see the boy can score, I wouldn't say he had a good game, I wouldn't say he had a good game, but he got two goals which is a good job," Popovic said.

Juric's double came at the expense of his former club Adelaide United and maintained his record of scoring important goals for his new club, with his debut strike being a late equaliser against the Mariners in round one. Despite his impressive finishing so early in his Wanderers career, Popovic did not talk up the young striker and said he still has a lot to learn.

"You can't change that overnight, the boy's enthusiasm, we love his enthusiasm," Popovic said. "It's not going to change overnight but that will happen with maturity but he's a quality player and it's up to us to try and get him through that, that part of his game."

Meanwhile, Adelaide United coach Josep Gombau was not willing to weigh in to the debate surrounding the performance of referee Jarred Gillett following a number of controversial challenges by Wanderers players.

Jerome Polenz and Juric were both lucky to escape with only yellow cards following vicious tackles on Awer Mabil and Isaias Sanches respectively. Though, Gombau was more concerned with his own team's performance particularly their ability to play a possession based style of play against the A-League premiers.

"I cannot speak about the referee, it's football and for me, it's not important," Gombau said. "I'm satisfied with the that work we did, we played good football, we're improving week by week."

Despite conceeding two goals and leaving Parramatta Stadium with nothing having taken the lead just after half time, Gombau was proud of the style of football his team maintained throughout the 90 minutes. Adelaide dominated possession with a 66 per cent share of the ball and doubled the amount of passes their opponents made.

"A lot. The thing you can see, which team in Australia play like this and we're just starting, we're just a baby now," Gombau said.
